Is TPU the same as PU
Jul 08 , 2022
TPU stands for thermoplastic polyurethane and is thermoplastic transparent granule which can be meltdown when heated. TPU is a block copolymer consisting of alternating sequences of hard and soft segments. The proportion of hard and soft segments can be manipulated to produce a wide range of hardness. Different ratio of hard to soft segments will result in different hardness TPU and can be as soft...

How to choose plastic material for your products, rubber or TPU
Jul 15 , 2022
TPE is categoried as thermoplastic rubber which covers a wide range of polymers including thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), crosslinked thermoplastic elastomers (TPV), thermoplastic polyamine (TPA), thermoplastic copolyester (TPC), polyolefine elastomers (TPO), styrenic block copolymers (TPS). TPE is known for its elasticity, processability, recyclability, high melting temperature, and resistance ...

Decoding tensile properties in the material data sheets of TPU
Jul 22 , 2022
Material data sheets showed material properties and can gain an in-depth understanding of the material during the material selection process. The same properties data will come out with different result by different test method , so it is important to test by the same standards when compare the properties of different material. TPU material tensile properties data is tested by ASTM standards. How ...

Weak demand for TPU plastic in the market and TPU price keep going down
Aug 05 , 2022
From January 2022 to July 2022, the TPU price showed a trend of rising first and then reduce. This is due to the fact that the price of TPU raw materials has a great impact on the TPU price. After the new year, TPU price go up with the price of the raw material. But procurement of the TPU demand side obviously decrease. It is difficult to recover in the short term. In July, the price of TPU ended ...

What is Expanded thermoplastic polyurethane (E-TPU)
Nov 11 , 2022
Expanded thermoplastic polyurethane (E-TPU)－is produced by the expansion of air in rubber material called TPU. TPU beads are pressure heated at 150℃ the temperature of softening point of TPU. CO2 blowing agent is impregnated into Soft Segment which results in expansion of TPU. In this process, the original particles can expand to 6-9 times bigger, and each of TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane materi...

Blow grade TPU been used to produce auto suspension components, air sole, air bladder and blow film
Mar 17 , 2023
Blow grade TPU except for must with appropriate crystallization speed and appropriate melt index, another important requirement is the control of the fisheye on the blow product. Preventing TPU blow products from producing fisheye not only must control the blow molding processing, but also control the physical impurities and hyperpolymer during the process of TPU synthesis...

What is the most common type of resin used in the production of golf frisbee discs
Apr 07 , 2023
Golf frisbee is a game that combines the elements of golf and frisbee. The goal is to throw the frisbee from one tee box to another in as few throws as possible. The player with the lowest score at the end of the round wins. As Golf frisbee is an outdoor activities, so golf frisbee discs must be resistant to UV rays and withstand wear and tear from regular use. Plus the golf frisbee discs must als...

What is addition ratio of TPU material in agricultural film production and the effect of TPU to agricultural film
May 12 , 2023
Agricultural film is a type of plastic film used in agriculture for various purposes such as covering crops and protecting them from pests, weather, and UV radiation. The agricultural film is made in a single continuous process, where the plastic is melted and extruded through a die to form thin sheets. The sheets are then processed further to make the final TPU agricultural film. The composition ...
